We booked into The Little Mermaid Rooms here and due to a happy accident they gave us an upgrade to the Finding Nemo Suite. The Finding Nemo suite was amazing, the location was nice and close to the main check in and having 2 bathrooms made it so quick and easy to get ready in the morning and to relax in the evenings.
Pros:
The Suites having separate bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. Fun Themes. Nice big pool. Cute decorations all around the resort. Great Food options for dietary restrictions.Cons:
The Little Mermaid rooms were such a long walk from the main reception and buses.Reviewed by Holly93 Review Date: 12/06/2020

We stayed in the Little Mermaid section of Art of Animation. I think part of the issues we had were they hadn't updated the room we were in, and I've heard that the rooms that are updated are much better than the older ones. Our room was... ok. It's definitely very small. With two adults and 2 suitcases we were overloaded and had zero space. There were gnats all over the sink area and around the lights when they were turned on. And because there's a pool right outside, the floor of our room was soaked from the family before us and the whole room smelled like chlorine. Other than the room issues, the walk to the transportation was actually not that bad at all, and I was using a rollator due to my hip problem. The skyliner was a great bonus to staying here and even buses weren't too bad on wait times if you got there earlier and not too close to park opening. I would consider staying again in a family suite with more people, but for two people I'd probably opt for Pop Century.
Pros:
Cute theming, the walk to the transportation wasn't too bad, pretty decent quick service restaurant and attached store.Cons:
Little Mermaid rooms are TINY even for only two people. Floors were soaked from family before us. Gnats in the room.Reviewed by MegYavoich Review Date: 11/21/2020

We really enjoyed our stay at AoA. The cast member at check in was very helpful and they were able to accommodate my room requests even though we only payed for the standard suit and not preferred. The room was very clean and well themed. The beds in the main space were a bit small. For safety reasons we put our kids in the bedroom and slept on the murphy bed, while grandma and grandpa took the pull out. The pool was great, but did have a few blind spots when trying to watch your little ones from the side. They had a lot of games and entertainment going on at the pool which a lot of the kids seemed to like. They were a little loud at times and took up most of the shallow end, which to our family was a con, because DD & DS aren't able or really interested in participating in the games.
We LOVED being so close to the skyliner and also enjoyed the food court. It has tons of variety, but could be a little crowded at times.
Pros:
Great theming. Cool Pricing. On skyliner route. Nice pool. Pretty good food court.Cons:
Pool activities take up a lot of the pool space, can be loud and happen very often. If you were in a further building you could have quite a bit of walking to do to get to the food court & transportation.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 11/17/2020

We just got back from a week long vacation staying at Art of Animation. We had a great time and loved our Little Mermaid themed room. The resort staff was amazing. They let us check in at 9:00am, after our flight was changed at the last minute.
Pros:
Being able to take The Skyliner to Hollywood Studios and Epcot! They also had busses running to the other parks and Disney Springs. We never waited more than 10mins for a bus.Cons:
If you are in the Little Mermaid section, it is quite a trek to the food court, shops and transportation, but the theming along the trail is great!Reviewed by JenGross Review Date: 11/10/2020

My son and I stayed in a Little Mermaid room in January of 2020. We loved everything about it, especially the walk from the lobby to our room, meandering through the Nemo and Lion King sections. Ignore those who say it's too long of a walk- it's not bad at all, and we found it enjoyable, especially the way it is beautifully lit at night.
Pros:
Skyliner Theming 3 Pools Jack and Frozen Coke and Rum and Frozen Coke machines The smell in the lobbyCons:
